Thymus Peptides and Thymus Extract for Hair Loss

How to Regrow Hair Hair loss is a common problem. Both men and women suffer from hair loss which is perhaps why the hair loss links at our web site are so popular. Recently, we stumbled across thymus extract as a hair loss remedy while doing research to find an HIV cure. Thymus extract and topical products that contain Thymus peptides have the ability to help regulate the body’s immune system which is often malfunctioning when people experience hair loss. Studies at the University of California in San Francisco have discovered that thymus extract can be a valuable supplement for hair regrowth. Thymus Extract contains a type of immune cell that can control inflammation in the scalp and trigger stem cells directly in hair follicles to promote hair growth. Without the Regulatory T cel...

Red Light Therapy for Hair Loss

How to Use Red Light Therapy for Hair Loss Red Light Therapy is not as gimmicky as you might think. The FDA has cleared this treatment modality which is elegantly simple using only LED lights of a particular wavelength to achieve its positive effects. The red LEDs stimulate hair growth by using 660 nm and 620 nm wavelengths of light to stimulate hair growth and the release of nitric oxide. If you purchase a red light therapy device for hair loss that covers the whole head, it’s easier to get broad scalp coverage and skin penetration.  Some studies have shown that 655 nm wavelengths of light also significantly diminished hair loss in men with androgenic alopecia. This study looked only at men with androgenic alopecia but there’s no reason to believe that this wavelength of light woul...

Sunlight and Hair Growth: Light as a Cure for Hair Loss

Sunlight is able to cure diseases and boost hair growth naturally by spurring the production of fumaric acid in the skin which is then used by the liver to produce ATP, the primary energy source for human cells. Sunscreen, on the other hand, disrupts reproductive hormones, increases our exposure to toxic chemicals that cause disease and it restricts sun exposure. A radical thought but maybe, just maybe---the sun can heal you. Radical, Heretical Facts about Sunlight Exposure and Hair Loss In a separate discussion, we’ve talked about the use of PUVA treatment for hair loss and red light therapy as a cure for hair loss, but in this discussion, we’re going to talk more directly about how sunlight can help you regrow hair.

Why am I losing so much hair? Iodine Therapy, Cysteine, and Vitamin B12 Hair Loss Remedies

Big Pharma-sponsored content adamantly claims that there is no relationship between Iodine Deficiency and hair loss. I suppose that's because Big Pharma makes a lot of money off hair loss drugs that don't work to regrow hair, but also that make people with hair loss sicker. I've worked with clients in the past who took prescription and over-the-counter hair loss drugs only to later develop serious problems like neuropathy or pudendal neuralgia. If you're looking for a natural hair loss remedy, Iodine Therapy with vitamin B12 and Cysteine are an excellent place to start!
